#TombstoneThursday (12th Edition)

This Thursday we travel through time and space to the beginnings.. of the New York Death Metal scene!

:skull: :skull: :skull:

Whenever we hear about the New York Death Metal scene, we immediately think of IMMOLATION, INCANTATION and SUFFOCATION, legendary Death Metal bands which are, at the same time, representative of the NYDM scene.

IMMOLATION was formed in 1988 on the ruins of 1986-formed band RIGOR MORTIS. In 1991 they released their first full length material, the legendary album "Dawn of Possession". After this, they kept releasing album after album, each of them living up to the standard of their debut. Their sound, thick, heavy, with unusual tempos, a bit dissonant but very original and harmonious in its disharmony makes them stand out from any other band. The band still has two of its original , vocalist and bassist Ross Dolan and guitarist Robert Vigna.

SUFFOCATION were formed in 1988 with Frank Mullen as vocalist, who would play with the band on every album since then until 2018, when he was replaced by Ricky Myers. In 1990 legendary guitarist Terrance Hobbs ed the band. Their debut, "Effigy of the Forgotten", released in 1991, is considered a staple album for Death Metal.

Another representative band for this scene is MORTICIAN, formed in 1989 as CASKET. Will Rahmer, the band's bassist and vocalist, still plays with the band. It's interesting to say that he has played in INCANTATION in 1990 while John McEntee was playing in MORTICIAN.

There are more bands proudly representing this scene, and some examples can be found in the link below.
